On Saturday, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh virtually inaugurated 75 transformative infrastructure projects run by the Border Roads Organisation.
18 of these projects are in Arunachal Pradesh, including three key roads, 14 bridges, and a helipad built by Project Brahmank.
Arunachal Pradesh Governor Lt Gen (retd) KT Parnaik, who also took part virtually from Itanagar, emphasized the strategic importance of these projects for both the state and the country.
“These completed projects will enhance national security, improve surface and air communication, and boost tourism in the state,” he told reporters.
Parnaik thanked the central government on behalf of the people of Arunachal Pradesh for successfully implementing these critical projects.
“These infrastructures will promote socio-economic development, especially in border areas, supporting the Vibrant Border Village programme and the state government’s ‘Seva Aapke Dwar’ initiative, which brings administration directly to the people,” said Gandhi.
Meanwhile, Arunachal Pradesh’s Law and Justice Minister Kento Jini attended the inauguration in person from Aalo in the West Siang district, emphasizing that these projects will significantly improve the state’s connectivity and contribute to a better future.
